Any STA less than about 76' actual is poor performing to my tastes. Bikes pedal poorly ime with slack STAs and really limit my power.
Bikes have gotten so much better in the 7 years I've been riding. When I started I was shocked how awkward and weird MTBs felt compared to my motos. Sincerely I believe I could have chosen better MTB fit as a complete newb to the sport than the entrenched designers who were doing so much so wrong at that time. Now, the bikes with the most up to date geo feel natural and normal.
Have to say, that Andrew & the piece on the OneUp bike peaked my interest greatly in the SQ saddle and I mounted my own up yesterday and will get a test ride today. It was a pricey little piece of kit but I really dig how low the rails are to the seat surface and long the rails are for fore/ aft adjustment. Those were nice bonuses.
